Recently my Windows 10 machine has experienced a problem where the whole system slows down suddenly. The performance drops coincide with everything else, including audio. This issue isn’t linked to any specific games or applications. Temperatures have stayed normal for some time now, whether I run overclocking or not—CPU peaks around 85°C and GPU around the same level. I’ve attempted several fixes: reinstalling GPU drivers via DDU, using chkdsk to clean corrupted files, disabling Hyper-V, and checking for XMP settings. I haven’t tried turning off XMP yet, but I’d rather avoid it unless it helps maintain stability. My hardware specs are: Ryzen 5 5600X, EVGA 3060 XC Gaming, 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V, 3200 MHz, and a few other components listed.
It resembles the fTPM stutter problem resolved by AGESA 1.2.0.7. Look for a BIOS upgrade and try installing the latest AGESA version. This should address the reported issues.
To switch to a BIOS version that supports AGESA 1.2.0.7, I’d likely need to visit a beta release for my graphics card. I’m unsure if this is safe for my setup, but I’ve heard some people warn against it due to stability issues. It’s possible I could try it and see how it goes.
Funny enough, I have a Gigabyte board too and gave up waiting for 1.2.0.7 a while back. Gigabyte was quite slow with it. Prompted by your post, I checked again. Turns out, same as your board, 1.2.0.8 is already out by now. So I finally got to fix my stutter issues as well
Sure, I'm ready to tackle updating the BIOS. This is my first time with it.
